RESOURCES |
Stage One: The pupils will be
shown a basic demonstration on the Boxford A3SHRi2.
The software will be explained and examples of the type of work shown to the
pupils. The machining will be demonstrated and safety emphasised.
The pupils will rough out a flow chart, with each stage explained in
detail., during the demonstration / talk.
The pupils will devise a style of presentation for the flow chart and this
will be drawn accurately. |
L. Key words represented as a flow chart.
N. Explanation of the interface and the role in plays in converting graphics
to coordinates.
C. Explanation of the role of automation in industry and the benefits /
negatives of this technology.
HWK. Complete detailed flow chart drawing. Bring in sample logos.
|
Complete detailed drawing of the
Boxford A3 SHRi2, with labels |
CNC
machines and appropriate software. ICT access.
Drawing and writing equipment. |
Stage Two: Explanation and
demonstration of the use of Techsoft 2d design software using a projector.
The pupils will start designing a small logo which will be machines using
the CNC equipment.. They will be allowed to access the internet for research
purposes. Examples of logos will be shown.
Methods of translating detailed drawings into simple logos will be
demonstrated. Explain why this is necessary for CNC work. Worksheet given
The groups will be divided into two. Group A will attempt designs using the
software and Group B will complete the hand drawings using the grids |
ICT. Internet research and use of
Boxford’s software.
N. Scaled drawings produced using the grid paper.
HWK. Complete two designs on the grid paper, adding appropriate notes |
Present a further idea for
possible machining on a CNC machine. |
CNC
machines and appropriate software. ICT access.
Drawing and writing equipment. |
Stage Three: Pupils will be shown
how to convert their designs (process). Emphasis will be placed on
conversion of the design to coordinates. Processing will start.
Pupils will attempt a flowchart on the industrial production of their
product. They will be shown the difference between single item production
and batch production, using animations of production lines to emphasise the
difference.
The pupils will draw their own industrial production flow chart |
N. Understanding of coordinates
C. Understanding of industrial processes and how they affect people in the
workplace.
ICT. Viewing of animations. Drawing of flowcharts on Techsoft 2D Design
software.
HWK. Complete flow chart work. |
Collect information and symbols on
recycling of material waste.
Present this information using DTP / Word Processing ? Graphics software. |
CNC
machines and appropriate software. ICT access.
Drawing and writing equipment. |
